Catastrophic PreparednessIncorporating Whole Community Philosophy

We must plan for the real, not the manageable Plan for the “Maximum of the Maximums” catastrophic event

Look across all levels of society as emergency responders View public as an asset, not a liability Private sector and VOADs are key contributors

Focus on essential activities for life saving/sustainment and stabilization within the first 72 hours (Golden Hours)

identification of requirements for new onesNecessary waivers and/or declarationsNew authorities required

New or enhanced pre-scripted mission assignmentsPre-incident preparedness programs Implications for academic, R&D, and other communities Implications for physical, programmatic and effective

communications accessibility

NOAA Imagery (Navigation Services)-Rapid Response-Imagery Publically Available ≤ 24hrs from collection (Whole Community)

FEMA Use- Enables FEMA to help Disaster Survivors

Respond/Recover faster- Speed of delivery in major catastrophic events-Helps us to assess areas quickly where ground entry is not practical - Potential for cost savings for future

assessments

Initiatives Facilitate a National Dialogue

Preparedness and outreach that actively engages “Whole Community” Private/public/VOADs are integral to success

Recognition that those that are capable will take up space in front of those that are truly not capable

Reshaping planning and preparedness around “Maximum of Maximums” Planning efforts that truly identifies capabilities at all levels of

The Meta-Scenario

No-notice event Impact area

~7 million population 25,000 square miles Several states and FEMA regions

190,000 fatalities in initial hours 265,000 citizens require emergency medical attention Severe damage to critical infrastructure and key resources Severe damage to essential transportation infrastructure

Ingress/egress options limited

In order to anticipate catastrophic requirements and to avoid narrow focus on a limited number of specific scenarios, the Whole Community methodology is built upon a foundation of a meta-scenario consisting of the maximum of maximum challenges across a range of scenarios
